Musnad Ahmad Hadith 6746

It is narrated from Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard a man from the tribe of Muzaynah asking the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! I have come to you to ask about the ruling concerning a lost camel." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "It has its hoof and its water-skin with it." He asked: "What is the ruling concerning a lost goat?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Either you will take it, or your brother will take it, or a wolf will take it." He asked: "What is the ruling for one who steals a goat that is protected in its pasture?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "He must pay double its value and be punished, and if it is stolen from the enclosure, then his hand should be cut off." He asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If someone steals fruit by breaking it off from the bunches, what is the ruling?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For the fruit he has eaten secretly, nothing is due upon him, but for the fruit he takes away, he must pay double its value and be beaten and punished. And if the fruits are stolen from the place where they are being dried, and their value is at least equal to a shield, then his hand should be cut off." He asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling concerning a treasure that we find in a deserted or inhabited area?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "One-fifth is obligatory in it and in buried treasure.
